Description
During the stock market crash of 1929 J.P. Morgan started construction on the exclusive waterfront oasis which opened to the grandest ball the island had ever seen on July 4th, 1930. The Bar Harbor Club was once a private playground for the town's wealthiest summer residents such as Joseph Pulitzer, John D. Rockefeller Jr., Edward T. Stotesbury and other movers and shakers of the day. Nominated, seconded and scrutinized by the Board of Governors, initiation fee and dues were the easy part of membership. Events at the Club included dances, sporting competitions, games, Sunday buffets, socials, receptions and exhibitions. The lavish costume balls and weekly dances were so popular the best bands from New York and Philadelphia auditioned yearly.
